SWISS COOPERATION STRATEGY FOR MONGOLIA 2007-2012
SDC Contribution 1.2:
Herders are empowered
to gain secure land tenure
and to manage natural
resources in a sustainable
and profitable way
SDC Contribution 1.3:
National and local government
as well as civil society
organizations develop
the needed capacity to
effectively and efficiently
implement policies and
procedures and mediate
between different stakeholders
Land use contracts
between the soum government
and artisanal
miners and between formal
mining companies and
artisanal miners developed
and tested
New law on artisanal mining
drafted and submitted
to Parliament
A rangeland management
coordination unit set up
in MoFA
A special legal provision
in Bayankhongor is allowing
SAM to test different
model agreements
Law will be submitted in
November 06
Unit set up with joint
support from UNDP, ADB,
WB and SDC
• Improved methodology
for soum land management
planning implemented
in four soums
(incl. training of herders
& land managers)
• Options for the institutional
strengthening of
pasture management
issues proposed / submitted
to Prime Minister’s
Office
• Capacity of informal
miners groups to organize
themselves increased
• National Committee for
Combating Desertification
equipped to monitor
the national program on
desertification
• Capacity of potato
producers to organize
themselves increased
• One stop shop opened
in one district
• 80 % of herders in four
model soums having
formalized access to
pasture land
• Reduced conflict among
herders
• Indictor is defined in the
output statement
• National Association of
artisanal miners formed
• Individual desertification
projects aligned to
national program
• Monitoring & Reporting
in selected areas
established
• National Potato Council
with regional structures
established
Country Outcome 2 Strengthened resilience of herders to vulnerabilities in the livestock sector and improved disaster preparedness and
environmental stewardship
(Socio-Economic Guidelines Matrix, Feb. 2006, No. 14, 32 & Government Action Plan, Section 3.4)
SDC Contributions 2006 Yearly Outputs 2006 Status (Progress
review)
2007 Yearly Outputs • Indicators
SDC Contribution 2.1:
Quality seeds available
and appropriate planting
technologies introduced for
pasture land improvement,
mining site rehabilitation
and potato production
SDC Contribution 2.2:
Plans, strategies and sustainable
natural resource
management practices
introduced to herders in
target areas that stop and
reverse the desertification
of rangeland and guarantee
a long-term use of the
fragile ecosystems
Options for increasing
forage production in different
ecological regions /
under different conditions
demonstrated
Capacity for production
of nuclear seed stock for
potato established
Up to 3 new varieties of
seed potatoes introduced
and seeds produced and
marketed by small seed
producing farmers
Potential of different pasture
rehabilitation methods
for increasing yield of
pastures demonstrated
Methods for increasing the
capacity of forage growing
under different conditions
tested
Thirteen forage species
tested, analysed and
ready for use
600t of seed potatoes of
3 new varieties produced
and marketed by seed
multipliers
Two agriculture research
institutes able to produce
mini-tubers as nuclear
seed stock for quality
seed of the new Impala
and Vitara varieties &
existing varieties
Experimental results
showed that a resting
time of one-year in slightly
degraded pastureland
can have a 3-fold yield
increase
5000 ha of irrigated land
has been rehabilitated in
Tsengel soum
• Forage seeds marketing
and sales network initiated
in 1 aimag
• Forage seed production
increased by 10 % of
previous year
• Number of farmers
planting quality potato
varieties increased by
30 %
• Appropriate ecological
energy options for artisanal
miners identified
• Rotational grazing is
practiced in 3 pilot
soums
• (Internationally recognized)
Rangeland Health
Assessment methodology
is adapted to Mongolian
conditions
• Economic feasibility of
different approaches to
rehabilitation of abandoned
land assessed
• Hammer-mill technology
for reduction of mercury
use and fall-out shown
• Indictors are defined in
the output statement
• Indictors are defined in
